How weyt.ai scores it
- Balance: every logged set counts toward the Calves group, which needs at least 4 sets per 30 days for full credit.
- Gains: load-scored with a bodyweight factor of 0.9. Each rep counts as 90% of your bodyweight plus any added weight, so it earns volume, e1RM and PR credit like a loaded lift.
- Routine: any session that includes it counts toward your weekly target, the 4-week consistency window and your streak.
Scoring is deterministic code, not AI: the same sets always give the same Weyt Score. Read the method on the about page.
